AnotherWs6 thanks. We will see what the future holds for the LT1 it's been in the truck since the mid 90's. The biggest issue I have with it is the Optispark which I know I can get rid of it but the cost makes me lean towards just swapping it for an LS. I am currently having issues with it cutting out at 5,000 rpm so I am going to put a fuel pressure gauge on it but I think the distributor is on it's way out again.

I haven't installed the seatbelts yet but they look good and they came with the hardware which I didn't expect. The tach is something I picked up at the parts store close to 20 years ago it was the cheapest one they had not sure the brand. The tach in the dash has been converted to one out of a second gen Camaro but I could never get it to work with the LT1. I will get a pic next time I have it out.

Thanks flashed I hope I can continue to make it better.
